1) 802.11 will always be backward compatible. If you want a n network for your home you can add a g AP to the network just for the pronto. You have WPA which is almost an overkill for the pronto.
For communication between the Pronto and some device that it controls and nothing else, yes, maybe WPA is almost overkill.
But the real problem here is that once an encryption standard becomes obsolete (compromised somehow), an AP on your network with that encryption standard makes the whole network insecure.
There are, of course, workarounds. But it would not be as simple as just adding an AP.
I agree with you about n and g, though.
